Ivy Lodge

Ivy Lodge is a house located on High Road in Manthorpe, originally known as No.15 Ivy Dene. It was built in the mid 18th century and later remodeled as an estate cottage in the mid 19th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The building features coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and a renewed pantile roof, complete with a coped stone ridge and gable stacks. It has a plinth, quoins, coped gables with kneelers, and ball finials, all designed in the Tudor Revival style.

The structure is a single storey plus attics and has a layout of three bays by two bays. Most of the windows are 19th-century casements with stone surrounds and mullions. To the right, there is a gabled wing that includes a two-light window and above it, a square panel displaying the Brownlow monogram. Below this wing is a canted stone bay window with two lights and a hipped stone roof. The left range has a catslide roof with a 20th-century three-light box dormer. Below it is a four-centred arched board door with ornamental hinges and a label mould, flanked on the left by a two-light window.

On the right return, there is a gabled through-eaves dormer with a two-light window to the left, and below it, three-light and two-light windows. Ivy Lodge was built as an estate cottage for workers on the Belton estate by the Brownlow family of Belton House.
